At least 2,000 people from across the U.S. and Canada have arrived in Mt. Tabor, Vermont for the annual Rainbow Family National Gathering, a countercultural festival that prays for peace, love and protection of the Earth. The week-long celebration officials begins Friday and could attract more than 10,000 to a remote area of the Green Mountain National Forest. Police have already issued dozens of citations, mostly for drug possession and traffic offenses. The event was first held in Colorado in 1972.
